In the past classes we have been doing all of our routes via the route.php file.

This tactic however does not scale well when you are building a production level application.

Controllers help you organize your routes into meaningful chunks. In addition to better organization, you can now work with the routes as a collective.

To illustrate we will move student routes to a controller called StudentController

So far we have been able to successfully create and list all records. In this lesson we will be looking at how we can edit the records that we previously created.

##Step 1

Route::get('/students/{id}/edit',function($id){
     return "Editing the student with id " . $id;
});

In this exercise we are going to create a way to add students using a form.

##Step 1

Type in the html code on the form

##Step 1:

Ensure we have some records on your Student class that you can use. Ensure mysql is running.

Run mysql-ctl cli. This starts the mysql database which normally closes if your Cloud 9 account if offline for a while.

##Step 2:

php artisan make:migration create_students_table --create=students

Navigate to the database/migrations folder and select your file

Add the following lines to the code

            $table->string('name');
